The GPG claims that pubs will only survive if they improve the quality of the food they serve. I must be missing something here as the main reason I go to pubs is to drink beer. I might have a pork pie or a packet of crisps or nuts with a pint but I wouldn't go to a pub specially for the food. I think that they're confusing pubs with restaurants here. Most of the pubs I drink in don't do food anyway. Let's see if they stagger on for another year despite the GPG's message of doom.
It is an unsubstantiated claim which aims to encourage people to go to the pubs, particularly those who have paid to appear in the Good Pub Guide, using "use them or lose them" as a scare tactic.
ReplyDeleteAs you know, Matt, no pub pays to get into CAMRA's Good Beer Guide.
